Black boys may have to be taught in separate classes from their white peers to help them do better at school, according to the race relations watchdog.

Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, said it was necessary to prepare for such an option because so many black boys are failing to get good GCSEs.

He also called for tougher action against black fathers, questioning whether they should be denied access to their sons if they refuse to attend school parents' evenings.

Its been what the whites have been calling for for a long time,keep them out the schools,let the blacks teach the blacks, but please use another country to do it in,as we have our own kids to think of and teach, as we belive you can do the same in your own native country

At 14 I was placed in a public school program for students with behavor problems. I was the only white female in a negro buck classroom. I was well endowed for my age so I didnt have to "stuff" but one of the bucks asked me to remove my stuffing. I would try everything to be excluded from this program and the negro buck pricipal knew it too and would do it. Now you know some about the bird.

Comments: HOW OUR SCHOOLS FAIL BLACK BOYS
Black boys may have to be taught separately from their peers to help them do better at school, according to the Commission for Racial Equality. Today ELAINE KING, Chair of the Bristol Community Education Support Group and locum director of Bristol's Kuumba, an arts and community resource centre, argues that we should be going a step further and set up new schools solely for black pupils FOR decades black boys have been under-achieving in schools. This is not something new, but something that has been going on for generations. It is too often a subject which is swept under the carpet. Yesterday, however, Trevor Phillips, from the Campaign for Racial Equality, suggested black children should be taught separately to help them improve their perfor mance. I applaud him for raising the issue, but would go a step further - we should have black schools for black children. First, the facts. Black pupils start primary school with some of the highest scores in baseline assessments of initial ability on entry, but within two years they begin to slip behind other children and never recover. When they are aged 11, just 62 per cent of black boys attain the expected standard in the national curriculum English test, compared with 72 per cent of white boys. By the time they reach secondary school this decline has accelerated even faster, so that when they take their GCSEs just 35.7 per cent of black Caribbean pupils achieve five good passes, the benchmark for later success. And when it comes to higher education, the statistics are even more alarming. Just 3,028 black children took A-levels compared with 109,000 white students, and their results were an average of one grade lower in each examination. The under-achievement of black boys in schools has a major impact on the rest of their lives. Black men are over represented in the Criminal Justice system and over represented in mental health.
